Atacia’s POV:
"Wait wait wait, so you're saying, that in this world, it's not normal for kids to be lovers?" Prince Neo asked. I nodded.
"Yeah. They're just kids. No parent would want their child to have a boyfriend/girlfriend at an early age." I said. Oh well, instead of training, we ended up telling stories. He suddenly talked about charm world so yeah.
"Mortals are weird. Super weird. In the charm world, even if you're a baby, as long as there's a connection and there's a spark when you're together, they'll arrange you. You'll be surprised, someone has already arranged for you. And when you reach the age of 15, you will get married to that person. " He told more stories. My forehead wrinkled.
"What? 15 years old? But that age is considered as minor." Surprised I said. He looked at me curiously.
"You didn't know? 15 is the legal age in the charm world." He
Atacia’s POV:"We're here. Come in." I said after opening the gate of our house. Yes. In our house where I found mom and my sister. It has been cleaned says Ms. Anthea."Wow! This is so big!" Princess Akira said as soon as they came inside our house."Are you alone here?" Prince Neo asked."No. I live here with my adoptive family. But sadly, my mom passed away. My dad is nowhere to be found. All that is left is my sister so yeah. Please be free to feel home." I said. I immediately went to the kitchen to find juice or water that they could drink. And luckily, everything here is prepared. I have a feeling that Ms. Anthea is the one who prepared all of this' cause she knew we would go here.I took the juice powder from the cupboard and water from the refrigerator. I mixed it up. Then transferred into glasses."Hey. What are you doing there?" I turned to P
Atacia’s POV:"Hey, you're spacing out again." Julia said."Have you ever been in love?" I asked out of the blue. It's 8:00 p.m. already and here we are, at the garden."No." She answered while looking at me confused."What does it feel?" I asked staring at nowhere."What the, I don't know. I said I've never been—" She cut off what she was going to say. Her expression went from confused to shocked. "—Don't tell me? Oh my god." She continued. I looked at her before nodding. I was about to say something again, but Prince Neo came."Hey girls." He greeted."Kuya Neo." I call him. Julia looked at me wondering why I called her Kuya."Hmm?" Prince Neo hummed."Have you ever been in love?" I asked him. His brows furrowed."Have
Atacia’s POV: My spirit awoke when I felt the sunlight hitting my skin from the window. I rubbed my eyes before sitting up in bed. I yawned before stretching. But I also immediately stood up when I smelled something like it was burning. My eyes widened and I hurried out of my room. I quickly ran down the stairs to the kitchen. There I found Prince Neo on the stove. "Kuya Neo!" I just cried when I saw the big fire on the stove. I immediately grabbed a bowl and fetched water from the sink and sprinkled it on the fire. "Are you alright?" I asked him. He just nodded. "What were you thinking? Why’d you use the stove? Jusko." I said. "Oh that’s stove?" He said. Napa face palm nalang ako. "Aishhhh. Are you hungry already?" That's all I said. Myghad why did I forget that my companions here in the house are from another world. He nodded. I opened the refrigerat
"So what's the plan?" Prince Adrian asked as he approached us. "We need to go back to the Academy. We're not safe here." Liam added. "No." Said Julia. Liam looked at her. "We can't go back there. Not yet. If we come back, they'll know that we found out about their plan. The woman from earlier might be in danger. Let's wait for Ms. Anthea. I'm sure she already knows." She explained. "She has a point. Just act natural." I said. Everyone agreed. After that conversation we went back to eating. After we ate, the others took a bath. I and one of Julia's older brothers, Enzo, hid at the table. He helped me when we welcomed royalties. When my birthmark hurt. His charm is numbness. He can numb your whole body. "Hey I want to ask something." He said as we set aside the dishes. "Hmm?" I hummed. "Do you know where I can bu
Atacia’s POV: "We're here." I said and opened the door. They went down one by one and looked at the mall. "That's mall?" Princess Akira asked. "Uhm yeah? Why? What do you expect?" I asked her and locked the van. "I thought the mall was bigger than our world." Her brother replied. "Yeah it’s small on the outside. Just wait till you get inside. Come on." I said. The mall is across the street so we need to cross. And I forgot that my companions were not from here because I saw them walking straight across. "Stop!" I told my companions. The others stopped but the cousins didn't hear anything. They were crossing when a truck passed by. I wish they could be beaten, but I pulled them back right away. "Don't just cross yet! That’s dangerous! You almost got hit! God!" Worried I asked. I looked to see if anything had h
Atacia’s POV: "Are you sure you're okay? You haven't been on yourself lately." Prince Adrian asked me. I nodded. "I'm fine don't worry. I'm just thinking." I said. I put away the exposed belongings in my bedroom and picked up a few things. "Let's go." I said as soon as we could get down. Drake opened the portal and one by one the royalties entered there. I put them all first and made sure no one followed us. I went in as well and Drake closed the portal. "Thank god you're all here. Ms. Anthea's waiting for all of you." Kim said as soon as we closed the portal. I nodded and went straight to Ms. Anthea’s office. I thought she was alone but there were also kings and queens of different kingdoms. "You called us? Why is there a problem?" I asked her. She motioned for the vacant seats. When we sat down, she immediately spoke. "Yes, there's a problem.
Atacia's POV:When I got there, I saw Ate sitting on the bed obviously waiting for me."Oh god it's good that you're here. I've been waiting for you for a while my ghad." She says. He quickly approached me and looked at my arm."First degree burn. You didn't even do anything to it?" She asked. I shook."We're in a hurry to get here. I didn’t care about it." I said. She looked me in the eye and stopped for a moment at what she was doing before continuing."Did you cry?" She asked. I took a deep breath before nodding. "Why?" She asked. I didn't answer that instead I asked."Do you think I made a wrong decision, ate?" I asked her."About what?" She asked."About that day. Do you think, if I didn't use the enchantment on her, she would really be a member of the black kingdom?" I will ask. She
Atacia’s POV:"Hypnotized how? There's no such thing as hypnotization." Said Prince Neo."I mean not literally hypnotize. My point is I think someone’s controlling her." I said. They nodded."How did you say so?" Princess Kayda asked."She changed. Since the arrow incident she has changed suddenly. At first, I thought it was just because of her feelings. But day by day, she changed more until she came to the part where she was always late, very tired as if someone was chasing her or she’s chasing something, not on her own, she’s not the Cassie I knew." I explained. We went silent for a moment until I snapped my fingers."Liam, I'm going to ask you something. And before you say anything, I just want you to know that I understand what you feel. Don't worry I'm not mad at you. Anyways, do you still have it? The antidote you used on her and the poison yo
Julia’s POV: I kept laughing every time I remember Aleah's reaction. I'm actually with my former team and the other royalties. "If you don't stop, I swear I'll strangle you." Annoyed Aleah said and glared at me. "Come on Juls stop teasing her." Atacia laughed at me. "Can you blame me? It really is funny! If only you saw her reaction when my cousin whispered behind her." Still laughing I said. "Okay that's it." She said and suddenly stood up. I immediately backed away while still laughing. But she suddenly stopped when our special guest arrived. "Hello everyone. I'm sorry I'm late." His deep voice echoed in our now silent room. All the women were amazed at how handsome this cousin of mine was. "Guys! I want you to meet, Elliot Evangelista. My cousin." I said and shouldered Kuya Elliot. He smiled at me and kissed the side of my h
Aleah’s POV: "Tita Ale! Tita Ale!" The twins called me while jumping. I laughed at their hyper personality. I don't even know who they inherited that from. "What is it kiddo?" I asked. "Can we buy an ice cream?" Tiacia said with matching puppy eyes. "Please? Tita Ale?" Draco added. "But your mom said you can't eat ice cream for now. You guys are so hyper." I said and laughed. "Cia! Your kids want to buy an ice cream!" I called out for Cia. "No! If you do that, then they’ll be more hyper." She said and peeked in our room. "Mommy please!!! Just this once!" Draco said. They insisted. "Fine fine. Just this once, okay?" She said. The two kids immediately nodded. "Fine. You can go." She said that made the kids scream in victory. They immediately pulled me awa
Dear Heatherians, Congratulations! You've reached the end of the Heather Academy! I want to thank you all for being with me during my journey in writing Heather Academy: School of Fighters. Thank you for giving me inspirations and giving me thousands of reasons to continue writing. The truth is, when I started writing my first story, which is this story, I always doubt myself. And always question myself. Can I do this? Can I meet the reader's expectations? Can I get their attention? Will anyone support me? Will I still bleed or should just stop writing? But then I realized, with or without readers, I should keep on bleeding. I should keep on writing. Because I'm not writing to impress. I'm writing to express. It doesn't matter if I do not reach the reader's expectation, instead, expect the unexpected.
Atacia’s POV: "Hey! Give me that! I touched it first so it's mine!" "No this is mine! You lost it and I found it. Now it's mine." "Mommy! Tiacia is taking my toys!" "No, I'm not! Mom he lost it and then I found it. It's founders keepers Draco." I chuckled when I heard them fighting again over a toy. "Now now settle down kids. Don't fight it's just a toy." I said as I entered their playroom while carrying a tray full of cookies and two glasses of milk. "But Mom that's my favorite toy!" Draco whined. "Tiacia, you heard Draco. It's his favorite toy. Give it back." I calmly said and put the tray on the table between them. "But Mom I like it! Plus, he lost it and I found it." Tiacia answered, hugging the teddy bear tightly. "Then why don't you just share it?"
Third Person's POV: "Atacia!" Simultaneous shouts of those who saw. The Dark Knights suddenly disappeared. The students, teacher, all Heatherians ran closer to the ravine. They peeked at it but saw nothing but a black water flowing hard. This is what they call the river of the black. "Look!" A student shouted while pointing at the Phoenix who's flying towards their direction. She landed right in front of them and gently landed Atacia. Her head was about to hit a stone luckily the Phoenix caught her on time using its beak, she pulled Atacia up. Aleah would have approached it, but Phoenix blocked and gave them a bad look. Everyone was scared and grabbed their weapon in case Phoenix attacked them. "It's okay. She's just protecting her summoner." Queen Helia said and stepped forward. The Phoenix, also glared at her as if she didn't care if she knew the Queen. "Nix, it's me. Helia.
Third Person’s POV: "I am going to kill you, Atacia Montreal." The sky went dark, the trees and grass dried, and a cold wind blew, sending shivers down to their spines as they watch the Queen summon something. Something dangerous, something scary, something deadly and venomous. "I-It's ..." Zephyra couldn't finish her sentence because of the fear that is building up inside her. "No way." Both Akira and Terren said. "This can't be happening." Said by Adrian. "This is dangerous." Kayda said and held tight to her sword. "What the hell?" Julia said before looking at her other teammates. Fear can be read in their faces. "The Black Snake." Drake and Liam said. Stood in front of them all, is the darkest creature of the Charm World, summoned by the Black Queen, the Black Snake. The soun
Third Person's POV: "Soy Hestia Phoenix. Ven a mí, mi preciosa criatura." After Atacia or Hestia said those words, she was enveloped in a dazzling light. Everyone was dazzled and stuck in the attack. It also caught the attention of the queen, her daughters Sam and Vivian, as well as the three elderly soothsayers. Atacia felt something burning at her back. It feels like something wanted to come out. "Don't fight it. Don't resist. Let it flow. Let it come out." Atacia opened her eyes and saw a woman, that looks exactly like her, covered in flames. It was like this was the fire version of herself. It offered her hand to Atacia and smiled. "You summoned me, Hestia. Now, let's finish this." It said to her. Atacia looked at her before looking at her hand. She took a deep breath and took her hand. Everyone covered their eyes when the light coming from Cia grew brighter, followed by
Atacia’s POV: "Let the fun begin." I whispered and rushed. The Dark Knights released at least twenty (20) dark puppets and attacked at us. I effortlessly sliced it in half. I flipped back twice to avoid the bomb they threw at my side. Using the rocks scattered on the side I made it like a shell so that the contents of this bomb would not spread. I attacked the Knights and rushed at them. They also rushed at the same time. And of course, I knew they weren’t fair to fight so instead of fighting with my sword I used my charms. I made air blades and air daggers and threw it at them. Some hit directly on the heart, others on the leg, arm, or thigh. Others were just touched. "You idiots! Kael! Finish that woman!" The queen shouted at her right hand. "Yes, dear queen. Your wish is my command." He answered before drawing his sword and walking closer to me. I just stayed in my place, waiting for him to appro
Atacia’s POV: "Depends on the question." Smiling I said. So, I received electricity from the handcuffs attached to me. The cuffs I made have evolved well. "I'm simply asking you. In return, we will not move the Academy. If I am not happy with your answer, all the people who are important to you will be lost. Even the Academy." Said Sam. I rolled my eyes at her "Are you stupid? Or are you just stupid? The Academy is not human." I said. I received electricity again. "Let's stop this nonsense and just get to the question. Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked me. I just smiled at her who was obviously annoyed. "I don’t know. Why don't you look for it?" My answer. Compared to before, now I received stronger electric shock. "Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked again. "Just kill me." My answer. Again,
